Beckett Skimmer

[Ancelot]

hey people i have been reading all the diys version of this skimmer since last night. Keeping myself up to date about this skimmer, looks like the beckett foam injector is quite well recived by many, but then because of the freight and everything quite inconvenient. thats why i am trying to do some research on OSAM.. thinking of doing a small beckett using that as the foam injector.. i was thinking of using two 2000l/h to push the water through the injector hoping to be as foamy as possible.. this skimmer is designed for 2ft tanks.. preferably for nano.. so anyone think this is feasible?

I think u ment OASE

Its better to use one pump rather than 2...pressure rated prefered.I think its more worth to buy a good skimmer rather than make a beckett skimmer for a 2ft tank.

i think for the sake of a diy newbie like me, i want to try it out.. plus material costs wise.. i think still can be kept within the range of a aquac..

i saw the models alvy made and tanggy made.. quite inspired that a small beckett skimmer can be made cos the more important factor always lie with the pressure rushing through the injector.. so i think of driving two pumps..

design will come up very soon.. cos there are some things i want to learn.. especially about the construction of the beckett: how to make the beckett housing? looks very difficult..

diy gurus HELP!
